10 Tips to Compliantly Import Food Products into the United States

Under provisions of the U.S. Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, importers of food products intended for introduction into U.S. interstate commerce are responsible for ensuring that the products are safe, sanitary, and labeled according to U.S. requirements. Imported food products are subject to FDA inspection when offered for import at U.S. ports of entry; the FDA may detain shipments if they are found not to be in compliance with U.S. requirements.
